About this book
Declan, a powerful and ruthless mafia king with piercing blue eyes and a lethal Irish charm, is convinced that Sloane is responsible for starting a bloody war. Blaming her for his men’s deaths and her alleged ties to his enemies, he decides that justice—or perhaps revenge—is best served by making her his captive. Sloane, however, is far from a helpless victim. Despite being innocent of the charges leveled against her, she refuses to bow to her captor. What begins as a tense, high-stakes standoff quickly shifts into a volatile game of cat and mouse. Utilizing the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, the narrative crackles with sharp, hilarious banter and undeniable chemistry as these two strong-willed characters clash. As they navigate a dangerous web of secrets and betrayal, the line between hatred and desire blurs, proving that some urges are far more powerful than the need for vengeance. Packed with emotional depth, surprising plot twists, and scorching tension, this second installment in the *Queens and Monsters* series is an addictive, fast-paced read. Sloane and Declan’s battle of wits provides a compelling mix of dark intrigue and laugh-out-loud humor, keeping readers hooked from the very first page to the last.

Image 108: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Declan may be the perfect book boyfriend, but Sloane steals the show! RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This series is becoming an all-time favorite, and I am not mad about it. Carnal Urges picks up where Queens and Monsters Book 1 leaves off: Sloane Keller has been taken by the Irish mob, and she has to deal with their second-in-command, the broody Declan O'Donnell. Declan wants to know what Sloane knows about her best friend's boyfriend -- Kazimir "Kage" Portnov -- who has taken over the Russian mafia. But Sloane proves to be more of a challenge than Declan anticipated. Would this put Sloane in serious danger, or would Declan succumb to the charm that Sloane brags about? I know that these books usually center around the big broody mafia man and their character arc, and while Declan checks off my wish list for the perfect book boyfriend, I was thrilled that Sloane stole the show. She is charismatic, wholesome, and fierce, and while the rest of us mortals would have been shaking in our boots after getting kidnapped by the Irish mob, this goddess showed no fear and, one by one, won the hearts of her captors, including the Big, Bad, and Broody one. And their chemistry! From the first chapter to the epilogue, their connection went from a hot simmer to boiling over to a serious wildfire. Sloane's thing against boyfriends is that they bored her easily, but Declan proves that his innovative mind does not only extend to his prowess in asserting power over his own and other mobs but also in the bedroom. ::waggles eyebrows :: Being in the underworld is a tangled web, indeed, and this book takes us on a roller-coaster journey through those tangles. This read can definitely stand alone, but why deprive yourself of the full Queens and Monsters experience? This does end in a cliffhanger that will have your jaw dropping to the floor, so make sure to catch it when it does. While my heart is not quite ready to move on from Sloane and Declan, my mind is already reaching for Book Three.
